We will see what happens... It seems to me he had doubts about the Craston film not Rio (which wasn't even mentioned!).

All this doubt has totally bummed me out.
It's depressing the hell out of me that a project I once thought was virtually underway, is now just another one in a "holding pattern" it seems. 😔
Added to that revelation, is that even though LL was a sold out success, almost everything I saw about it seemed to focus on how "emaciated" BC looked.
His passing on the Gypsy Boy role (something I was reaĺly looking forward to) didn't help my mood.
And then I read that some BC fan Facebook page had to fall down that same rabbit hole apparently and felt it necessary to have to explain again for the umpteenth time about his weight loss for Ironbark!... can't people retain any info they read?
It's just disheartening to check out any BC news lately because everything I see has a negative spin in it.
Even that article heralding the Albert Hall LL event seemed to have an element of worry in it, as to maybe the organisers had bitten off more than they could chew.
😦
I think I need spring to come!

That’s not really negative AT ALL! Fans tend to be over dramatic but as you said we all knew he was doing an extreme diet to look like that! The Daily Mail even published a piece about how he wasn’t thin enough yet!
Gypsy Boy should had been shoot last year during the Summer so it was clear there were problems. I saw Cumberbatchforum speculating it clashed with the Rio shooting. I imagine it was just a comment but remember that she actually work in the business so who knows? Maybe she knows something!
We will see what happens with Rio. A lot of sites are mentioning it as a fact. That random Twitter movies account that said it will be shoot in the Autumn seems to take its info from industrial outlets.. Production Weekly posted something new in February. Maybe that’s the source and that’s what they posted. That Jeff Sneider guy is still mentioning it on his article about DiCaprio film.

I was thinking that we won't know for sure anything probably until May. I imagine that Studio Canal would want to keep any news about casting until the Cannes film market. I suspect Michelle Williams is out so there's a least an important female role there!
Actually Rio was mentioned briefly on one article about StudioCanal during the Berlinnale. It said that the studio wouldn't announce new things there but they were still selling the rights of the projects already announced including Rio. Probably that means they will announce a few new things at Cannes! The How to Stop Time writer said recently that he knew something new about the adaptation but he couldn't talk about it (Adam Ackland liked the tweet). That's also a Studio Canal movie!

The problem is that the last movie he filmed was The Current War in 2016. Too long ago.
I'm not counting The Grinch that apparently took a long time.
I don't mind if he doesn't film movies if instead he gives us another Patrick Melrose (I wish!).
But, it is a bit disheartening to see almost every actor getting roles and no news about BC. I just hope it is his personal option.

His best and more challenging roles until now are from TV and he just had a great and very diverse run with The Child in Time/Patrick Melrose/Brexit.
I think it's in part because there aren't too many interesting things on film right now. Even big filmmakers as Scorsese, the Coens and Cuarón are going TV/Netflix and polemically they are receiving film awards.
His strategy seems to be to do big franchises for the big screen and artistic stuff for the small.
He has actually very few leading roles on the big screen since he arrived to Hollywood: The Fifth Estate, The Imitation Game, Doctor Strange, The Current War and The Grinch. With the exception of the first one and the one not even released, they were all massive in the box office. But yes, I love Cinema and would like to see him in a great role on the big screen. I'm sure he will have the opportunity soon, it's just that it's not easy to make artistic films for the big screen right now.
(It also seems to me that there is a small group of actors who seems to "monopolize" roles in great filmmakers films. He just have to infiltrate himself in one film by Wes Anderson or the Coens and everyone else would call him! 😉 Patrick Melrose seemed to have catched the attention of people like Paul Schrader and Leo DiCaprio. That's very good!)
I hope we could have some news soon. Again the next big film market is until May at Cannes but hopefully they could announce something before this.
He is still doing Ironbark and that was a quick project. Apparently distributors were crazy about the project at Cannes and Film Nation quickly sold the rights almost everywhere (not even Rio with the added names of Gyllenhaal and Guadagnino seemed to have had that luck). I remember Dominic Cooke saying he didn't knew when they will do it but very soon because they already had all the money a month after it was announced!

I want to see him in more things, too, but I think he’s as busy as he wants to be right now. He has three little kids waiting for him at home, so I can understand why he’s not willing to be separated from them for any longer than he has to be. Just look at everything he did while also doing Sherlock! And he was still doing Cabin Pressure when he began Sherlock! I don’t think he wants to multitask that way anymore.
